Square Loyalty, and when a standalone card fits better
Square Loyalty is tied to taking payments with Square. If that is how you already sell, it has a head start; if it is not, you are choosing a payment processor to get a loyalty programme.
Loyalty attached to payments
Loyalty built on a payment platform earns from the transaction itself, which is neat. It also means the programme follows the payment platform: change how you take money, and you are changing your loyalty programme too.
- Strongest when every sale is already processed there.
- Availability and pricing depend on the country you trade in — check yours.
- LoyVue is independent of how you take payment.
An Arabic-first, wallet-first programme
LoyVue was built for businesses serving Arabic-speaking customers: the whole interface is Arabic and right to left when you want it, and the card is a real Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass rather than a lookup by phone number.
- Arabic and English throughout, for staff and for the card.
- A signed wallet pass in your own colours.
- Branches sign in as themselves, so per-site numbers come for free.
- Connects to a Salla store so online orders earn as well.
What to check before you decide
Both products change. Judge them on what they do the week you sign up, not on what a page says.
- Is the loyalty feature available where you trade, and at what price?
- Would you have to change how you take payment?
- Does the customer get a branded wallet pass that updates itself?
- Can your staff work in Arabic?
- Can you export your customers and their balances?
Common questions
Do I have to change my card machine?
No. LoyVue does not process payments and does not care which terminal you use.
Does LoyVue work outside the Gulf?
Yes. Currency, time zone and language are set per workspace.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The free plan is not a trial; it has a cardholder limit and no end date.
